If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Your speed can be measured in different ways, including indicated airspeed, true airspeed, equivalent airspeed, and ground speed.

This section is also needed when youre calculating your true airspeed, which you need to know to plan your flight. Step-by-Step: How to Use the E6B for Time and Speed Calculations Calculating Time en Route Lets say were flying at a constant airspeed of 100 knots. That means our groundspeed was 90 knots.

On one trip home, we had a 50-knot headwind, really annoying at a true airspeed of only 125. One flight, given instructions to cross whichever end of the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX), things just didn’t seem right in the cockpit. Next morning, we took off before the fires really got going again.

These two simple features power three of the most important cockpit instruments. Key Takeaways The pitot-static system measures airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed. To find True Airspeed (TAS), youll need to account for these effects. This setup is called the pitot-static system.

This is consistent with Rick’s report, which referenced 9 knots of wind. Note that a 43 knot gust from a direction of 190 degrees was measured at 17:39, one minute after the accident (provided that the time stamp is accurate). How Does It Feel in the Cockpit When We Encounter A Microburst?

The rate of turn is dependent upon True Airspeed (TAS) and bank angle. In other words, for a higher True Airspeed, a greater bank angle is required to maintain the same rate of turn. Conclusion The turn coordinator is an undoubtedly valuable instrument that will remain in analog cockpits for years to come.
